Oasis Network (ROSE) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule

The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Oasis Network (ROSE) token release schedule, showing when and how tokens enter circulation across investor, team, treasury, and community allocations. Understanding these tokenomics dynamics is critical for evaluating potential supply pressure, inflation impact, and market liquidity over time — key factors that can influence ROSE price performance.

Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.

Tokenomics & Utility

ROSE is a capped‑supply token with a fixed maximum of 10 billion. At mainnet launch, about 1.5 billion were in circulation, with a portion reserved to be released over time. Roughly 2.3 billion ROSE are dedicated to on‑chain staking rewards paid to validators and delegators for securing the network. The token is used for transaction fees, staking, delegation, and governance. (docs.oasis.io)

The network aims for broad participation through proof‑of‑stake:

Validator set size targets around 120 entities. Stake weight determines who is elected to propose blocks. The minimum stake thresholds to register an entity and validator are modest (on the order of 100 ROSE each), and the unbonding period is ~14 days. Slashing applies to double‑signing. (docs.oasis.io)
Community governance combines off‑chain discussion with on‑chain votes; node operators vote proportionally to stake. The governance process has supported upgrades, such as adjusting the staking reward schedule. In March 2024, Proposal #4 extended the ~2.5% reward rate until the common pool is exhausted, with the docs updated to reflect the change. (docs.oasis.io)

At a high level, the distribution has included allocations to early backers, core contributors, the Oasis Foundation endowment, community/ecosystem programs, strategic partners/reserves, and a long‑term pool for staking rewards. The Foundation has also published a delegation policy to support reliable validators. (docs.oasis.io)

Assumptions

Non-staking allocations (Backers, Core Contributors, Foundation Endowment, Strategic Partners & Reserve, Community & Ecosystem) are modeled as linear over 10 years (2020-11-18 to 2030-11-18).
The official docs provide an interactive 10-year Circulation Schedule with CSV/JSON, but direct access to the raw asset was unavailable at compile time; linear monthly modeling preserves total amounts for stacked cumulative charts.
PoS rewards are modeled as one consolidated allocation with five linear sub-periods whose token totals sum to 2.35B ROSE.
On-chain rewards depend on stake, validator performance, and epoch timing. We approximate issuance with piecewise-linear periods reflecting: high initial APR (20%→16%), a multiyear decline toward ~2%, and post–Proposal #4 constant ~2.5% until the common pool is exhausted (~6 years from 2024-03-27).
Lockdrop tokens are treated as distinct mechanisms and deducted from Community & Ecosystem to prevent double counting.
Per Oasis and CoinList, ROSE Farm (10M) and ROSE Cultivate (20M) were funded from program/treasury resources; we net −30M from the ecosystem bucket.
ROSE Farm distribution modeled as a cliff on 2020-12-17.
CoinList specifies ROSE Farm ended 2020-12-15 with distributions completed 1–2 days later; a mid-point of +2 days is used for the cliff date.
Total supply is capped at 10,000,000,000 ROSE.
Confirmed by multiple official sources (docs and site).

Allocations

PoS Validator Rewards

2,350,000,000 tokens

Linear vesting: Nov 18, 2020 - Nov 18, 2021 (monthly)

Modeled as Year 1 issuance covering the initial rewards schedule which targeted ~20% APR for the first ~6 months then ~16% APR for ~6 months; total distribution over this phase is represented linearly for charting. Actual per-epoch payouts depend on network stake and validator performance.

Linear vesting: Nov 18, 2021 - Nov 18, 2022 (monthly)

Second-year rewards under the on-chain reward_schedule trending down toward long-run rates (20%→2% over first four years per docs). Modeled linearly for monthly charting.

Linear vesting: Nov 18, 2022 - Nov 18, 2023 (monthly)

Third-year rewards under the declining schedule toward ~2%. Modeled linearly for monthly charting.

Linear vesting: Nov 18, 2023 - Mar 27, 2024 (monthly)

Transitional period approaching the ~2–2.5% range prior to Governance Proposal #4 (passed 2024-03-27).

Linear vesting: Mar 27, 2024 - Mar 27, 2030 (monthly)

After Governance Proposal #4 the reward rate (~2.5% APR) is held until the common pool is exhausted (estimated ~6 years from Mar 2024). Modeled as linear issuance across this period for monthly charting; actual payouts vary by stake and epochs.
